Remember the good old days when you could whip out your trusty Polaroid Instant Camera for an on the spot photo opportunity? Since the surge of digital cameras has taken place, trusty old friends like the instant cameras and 35mm are either filling the landfills of the world or are sitting in the closet collecting dust. A gentleman from France has come up with some nifty and down right usable freeware for the Mac and PC crowd to make you smile and hearken back to the days when life was a little bit simpler. The program is called Poladroid and allows you to drag and drop your digital photos and produce some pretty perfect Polaroid Instant Shots digitally on your computer. While the software is in beta and may tend to have a bug or two, it is still quite usable and fun to play with. Drop on over to Poladroid.net for a look see and check it out for yourself.

Check out the video embedded below. Not too bad.

Growing up, we bugged our parents constantly to fork over $50 for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) back in the 1990's. We would spend countless hours playing Ninja Gaiden, Super Mario Brothers, and Blades of Steel. And who could forget playing Contra. Remember up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start! That code will live with me forever.
